Documentary Project Blog Entry #1

Part 1:
As of right now, all my group has is a general idea of what our documentary is going to be about. We want to do it on the topic of adoption. Possibly talk to someone who has been adopted, people who have adopted, and maybe someone who has given their child up for adoption. I think we will need some help finding and narrowing down our focus. So far my group has worked together well in coming up with our idea.

Part 2:
One of my questions I had before reading the article was, what exactly is the definition of a documentary? The article began with "put two documentaries together and they will probably argue about what is, or isn't, a documentary." So I knew right away after reading that that there isn't really an answer to my question. Something I read that I thought was interesting was when the article was talking about a documentary being like a story, with an interesting plot and characters. I've never really thought of documentaries like that before, and I will take that into consideration when I am making my documentary.
